FOUR coolies, in charge of a truck, were this morning arraigned before Mr., F. A. Haseland at the Magistracy, on the charges of (1) negli geat driving, and (2) not observing the rule of the road. It appears that a Chinaman' was riding along Bonham Strand, East, yesterday afternoon, in his private riekstia, when the truck, carelessly handled, slipped down the incline and, dashing into the ricksha, over turned it, throwing the occupant out, and run ning over and cutting the foot of the coolie. The owner of the ricksha sustained severe injuries to his left arm and shoulder, while the ricksha was badly damaged. Upon conviction Mr. Hazeland remarked that there had been too much of this careless handling of the public

THE FIRST STAGE,

It seems that collectors are sent every week to those people who are customers of the Laundry, gather up the dirty clothes and bring them to the Laundry. No sooner do the bun- dies come in than they are seized by Chinese women, and marked with a number-in-Ted thread. Each customer gets a number and a letter-T 105" for example would mean that somebody in the town had sent in their weekly wash. It does not signify that the young bachelor who has sent along his white shirts may have spent sundry leisure hours in in- scribing his full name and address on the' most prominent part of those garments; he is ticked off as a number all the same, and may think himself lucky if he does not get a

discussion in Hongkong and the Coast Ports.

·Strong indignation has been expressed against the methods employed to keep the Company going, and it is generally felt that the time has come when some action should be taken to indicate, at all events to The general managers, the feeling of the shareholders. An active opposition is, we understand, being 'organised, and a formal protest against the action of the man- agement in the matter is being prepared, "The worst of it is," said one share holder, who was approached on the subject trucks on the street, and he would deal severe-letter.

Another share. holder, who is a well-known protester against A. S.

EARLY RINSINGS.

THE CUSTOMERS.

"What class of people patronise you?" the manager was asked. "Chinese, to any extent?! "Not Chinese; we rely on the European

populations." Although the laundry charges three times the price of Chinese washermen there is a growing influx of customers.

HINTS TO BACHELORS. "How much would you charge a bachelor,' say, for a month's washing,"

"Single man $9; and for a small family $15" "But what do you call a sinal family?

"Four persons in a family would be a *small family in our opinion. We could tell in a fortnight whether a man's estimate of a

A GENTLE QUESTION.

In the gentlest manner possible, Mr. Wood was invited to 54y whether it was true that the laundry ever tore a shirt to ribbons, for ex- ample; or would be believe that people found holes in garments where, as they alleged, holes had not previously existed?

In accordance with the Articles of Association, Messrs. J. S. Van Buren, Chow Hing Kee, Chau Tung Shang, Dr. J. W. Noble and H. P. White retire, but offer themselves

for re-election.

The problem was submitted-"Supposing a dozen callars were sent to the Laundry for a certain number of weeks, and a dozen sent to a Chinese washerman for the same period which would show the greater signs of wear and tear?" But the manager was not to be drawn on that point, and so the questions ended.
